This is an extremely um weird look at feudalism considering fuedalism isn’t actually a uniform system. France and England actually were extremely different in practical terms because William the conquering actually used a lot of native Anglo Saxon systems alongside the more French model. Making a much more centralized system than in France. Not even getting into the weird as gently caress clusterfuck that Germany became

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:And they consulted with three attorneys, two of which said they couldn't help them and one said they thought the clerk was right and it wasn't a country. Yeah that's so bizarre that it almost seems fabricated. Surely someone has got to be able to just google it. Or like, why didn't the OP show the clerk the wikipedia page, or the CIA world factbook page, about Lichtenstein?

I have accounts at 3 banks and the minimum for all 3 is $5. I know there are people for whom having $5 locked up can actually be a real issue (  ), but somehow I doubt that is the case for these people who are depositing and withdrawing strictly in intervals of multiple $50 video games.

What if we had a Bitcoin... for Bitcoin? quote:The entire movement around crypto is to move AWAY from government control… quote:We, the crypto consumers and early adopters, can drive the practices of the crypto industry. We should be banding together and pushing coin providers to NOT accept payment in government controlled fiat currency. They should only accept crypto for crypto (stable coins, tethers, etc. if they want price stability). We need to be unified on this. Please do not sell or buy crypto with government currency. That will only make crypto dependent on fiat currency and further empower fiat as crypto rises. quote:Something truly based on blockchain technology should be public, decentralized, permissionless, and trustless. quote:
quote:Ahh I see now, in this scenario banks do indeed go to the wayside but a regulated USD Stablecoin is governed by the FED. quote:
quote:I think the mechanism for that to happen is baked into crypto as a matter of game theory. Once crypto is on equal footing with fiat, why would anyone prefer the inflationary asset? quote:

That seems odd as a lot of states really don't care where you live and will give you a marriage license. They're probably best off driving to Illinois or something and trying there. I don't say Indiana or Ohio since those can be just as backwards as MI.

I've heard of people who can't walk on a school's premises but that's the first time I've heard of someone whose not allowed in a bank. It's probably less "not allowed in there" and more "closed an account with a negative balance". Wait until he finds out he's on the poo poo list for all banks and not just that small town one.

If it's in state, (at least some states) you have to get it from your local county but out of state will just issue one wherever. Seems easier than fighting it locally.

If you get a conviction for a property crime against a business, they will usually include a no-contact order with the business. Whole lot of people with restraining orders against them from Wal-Mart.

Having the cops called on him is about the only thing I could think of that would result in a lifetime ban. Even a shitheel customer can generally apologize and get their banking privileges back. I'm going to guess the story doesn't paint him in an appealing light if he's willing to tell everyone he banks at GameStop, but not what got him banned from the bank.

The easiest solution to getting married is going to Colorado. You fill out a form and bing bong you're done. Self-solemnizing rules. You can even yell at a mountain 'I'm married!" and fulfill your favorite Michael Scott moment.

paternity suitor posted:GoT will be back in some way in the future. Star Wars seemed to be left for dead after Phantom Menace Star Wars had stuff happen in the interregnum even after the prequels flopped. SW Galaxies ran for years, KOTOR, Battlefront, Clone Wars, EU books and comics, etc. The prequels didn't kill the franchise, because you could politely ignore them and continue enjoying other aspects. Disney has done more to ruin the franchise at this point with each of the sequels, the Han Solo movie, etc where it's not just a cash grab, but feels like future SW universe is likely to continue being cynical cash grabs. The only noticable exceptions are projects like Mando, which are written to be good content first and star wars second. Mando is a Western that happens to be set in the SW universe, not a Star Wars projects that happens to be a Western. I'm angry. Angry about star wars. Ghost Leviathan posted:JJ Abrams literally said 'We probably should have had a plan' in an interview. That explains a lot about him, I feel. Painting yourself into a corner is JJ's specialty, as far as I can tell. He's not particularly good at just making some poo poo up as a deus ex machina to keep chugging along well past the point of credulity, but he does it, and by the point he does it you're so invested that you just deal with it. It's me, I'm the smoke monster from Lost.

muscles like this! posted:Iowa lets you do common law marriages by just presenting yourself as married with someone you're living with. But yeah, the solution to 'my local courthouse/social security office/whatever is being poo poo' is almost always going to another one if at all possible. I had to do that when changing my name with social security - the first office sent a card still in my old name and kept doing jack poo poo to fix it, and I gave up and submitted a whole new application to a different office. The new office got the whole thing done in a fraction of the time it took the first office to just send me my id documents back(no in-person because covid).

Power of Pecota posted:The Universal Life Church lets you get ordained as a minister free of charge, I did it after I saw Joel McHale shout them out in a youtube video that was mostly about making kettle corn: https://www.ulc.org/ The issue at hand though is inability to get the license that the officiant needs to sign. In PA you can at least skip needing an officiant, so if they're going to travel somewhere to get the license, it's where I would suggest (or I guess CO has it too as someone else posted, but PA is closer to MI). But this is all just pissing advice into the wind for an unknown couple that leon trotsky found on reddit or whatever lol
